§ MR. DIXON-HARTLANDasked the Secretary to the Admiralty, Whether he would have any objection to state why it did not appear necessary or desirable that a general officer of the Royal Marines should have a seat on the Board of Admiralty?
§ MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANSir, it is not usual in reply to a Question to enter upon matter of argument. The hon. and learned Member for Stockport (Mr. Hop wood) has given Notice of a Motion on this subject on going into Supply on Navy Estimates, and I shall be prepared then to explain the views of the Admiralty upon it.
